Almost Halloween
It’s that time of the year again! Almost Halloween! At Somewhere Over the Rainbow, we kind of love Halloween. Before we moved here, I would put on a rather over the top Halloween Party every year, complete with wacky themes, amazing costumes, and all the best spooky food. It was an incredible amount of work. The first year without one was okay. A break from doing the big party six or seven years running. Now, I kind of miss it. However, we have the shop decorated for Halloween, and as we get closer to the day,…

Essential Aromatics
It always makes me feel good when customers come into the shop and immediately ask what ‘smells so good?‘ Truth is, there are all sorts of great smelling goodies at Somewhere Over the Rainbow. We carry a wide selection of incense, resins, candles, room and linen sprays, and the very versatile, Essential Oil. And this is the main reason the shop always smells (and I think, Feels as well, so Good). I have a diffuser that I use daily, choosing the Oil not only to smell good, but often to address our moods or how we’re…

Go WEST
Here’s another post featuring a nearby #Small Business that we at Somewhere Over the Rainbow loves. WEST is amazing! An Antique and Vintage shop just packed with trinkets, treasures and the unexpected. It’s every bit as offbeat and eclectic (maybe even more so ;-)) as we are and so much fun to visit. I could spend hours and still not take it all in. Join me today for a pictorial tour that doesn’t even begin to show you all there is to see at WEST. The Guadalupan Lady WEST. Fort Davis Located in the heart…

Happy Birthday to…
Somewhere Over the Rainbow The long and short of it is that I’m not sure if it feels like a year since we launched this small Shop on the Edge of Eternity or not. Some months have trickled by like a dried up desert spring, and others have rushed by like the water down State Street after one of our monsoonal downpours. (Yes, we think about Water a lot out here.) However it might feel to me, a year has wound passed since we opened the store. The Official Birthday is March 18th (Wednesday; the…

What’s Behind the Curtain
As of this weekend (Mid-February…) we have officially been open for business nine months. I’ll admit that it has not been without its ups and downs. There are days when business is so good that our optimism soars. And then there are those others that pass with not a single customer coming through the door. When that happens, the mood tends to shift into unwelcome channels of “what if?” I Wrote the first version of this post last summer after being open for only a couple of months. A lot has changed in the interim,…

Yay Fall!
We’re jumping with Joy at Somewhere Over the Rainbow !We Love Fall, and all that it includes. Pumpkins, gourds and colorful foliage are cause for all the happy feelings. Cooler days and chilly evenings are for getting into cozy sweaters and socks, wearing boots and jackets. The days are getting shorter (good for sleeping) and the general pace of life just slows a bit. Halloween is around the corner, and after that the fun and excitement of the Holiday Season. We’ve got some new pretties in the store, and I am addding new/old vintage stock…
